Trailer Tuesday: ‘Life After Life’

BBC has delivered an incredible trailer in their upcoming release of Life After Life.

Life After Life is the story of Ursula Todd, who has an infinite number of chances to live her life. The four-part BBC series debuts in iPlayer on April 19th, and is adapted from the popular book of the same title. What if you could live again and again, until you got it right? Life After Life takes a closer look at what the possibilty of rebrith might mean. A question many have struggled to identify and answer for centuries.

On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war. 

Does Ursula’s apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can — will she? This book has been touted and revered as the author Kate Atkinson best work. Let us know what you think and if you’ll be watching. We will.
